Yeah that last goal is a epic goal :party: That was in 90+3 I think…

I almost cried :crying:. We had it comming though, that goal was “in the air” throughout most of the second period.

Now we need to beat, or draw Russia to qualify! Which I actually think we will. Russia isn’t looking as good as they were expected to be if you ask me.

I almost cried too (with joy xD)… The only thing that I can’t understand is why Ibrahimovic was subtituted in the half-time. I would say that it wasnt a good decision…

Sucks that the last group games all kick off at 8:45, I loved watching both matches unless I run from the living room to the kitchen all the time. Czech vs Turkey should be a good match.

OMG WHAT A GAME, coming back from 2 nil down. If Czech didn’t make that MASSIVE error they would have won, Turkeys last goal has to be goal of the tournament so far. Turkish goal keeper obviously didn’t learn from Bastian’s mistake against Croatia. What a turn around.

It was really a beatiful match, the last 15 minutes… 3 goals, simply awesome. That demonstrates that in this kind of matches nothing is for sure until the referee blows the final whistle. Nihat perfect, like the season he have made this year here in the ‘Villareal CF’ with 18 goals.

Congrats

W00000t Go Germany. Firstly get the \*\*\*\* off the pitch Gomez you are \*\*\*\* how the hell did you miss that hit in the opening minutes of the game, GET OFF. On the other hand what an amazing free kick by Ballack, at 121km/h it was unstoppable.

Come On Germany get your act together and kick some Portugal \*\*\*.

Who think will go though tonight its between Romania, France & Italy?

Really, It doesnt matter, in quarter-final they’ll have to play against Spain… Nothing to do…

Ok…a little disappointed (to not say embarrassed!) over the Italy-game. Still happy they won and advanced!  
Having a goalgetter like Toni with almost 10 chances and not making one goal is just not good enough.  
France was unlucky to loose Ribery that early and to get a red card & penalty. Even 11 against 10 Italy didn’t really dominate the game.  
I was afraid, that Romania would win against Holland, but fortunately Holland played good (They could actually make it! Wouldn’t mind, I like the “Oranjes”)

I had to get up at 2.30 in the morning to watch the game…it was fun 🙂

Let’s see what happens in the quarter finals (against Spain…I guess!)

I think the Italy - Spain quarter final’s going to be interesting. Spain always start tournaments well, but then don’t excel when it really matters. Italy on the other hand are always slow to start, and only gain momentum once they’re out of the group stages!

My money’s on Holland winning the competition though! 🙂
